It (a) used to be only 32-bit, and (b) <<32 on ARM evaluates to zero in
a 32-bit context (it's not a rotate).
Patch looks fine. I wonder who takes it... after all, I used to look
after that code (after all, I'm the author of it), but now I guess as
it's been moved under kernel/time, it's someone elses responsibility.
